APRIL 19, 2015

Welcome! We are glad youre here! We invite you to seek out the folks wearing the Ask Me badge. Through them you will find information about the ministries of Salem Heights Church and how to become involved. Please fill out a Visitor Card and drop it in one of the offering boxes as you leave or scan this code to go directly to our website and fill out a visitor card. We have an excellent nursery and programs for children newborn through high school. Any of the ushers will be happy to direct you to the proper classroom. If you feel more comfortable having your infant with you during the service, the last row in the Auditorium will be reserved for parents with small children. There is a private room for nursing mothers across the hall from the Auditorium with a rocking chair, changing table and portable crib. For your convenience, it also includes a monitor to enable you to still hear and view the service.

Our Purpose...

To reach people with the love of Jesus Christ, provide a safe and

supportive environment, proclaim the standards of Gods truth,

duplicate the Christian life in others, and celebrate the majesty

and works of Our Great God.

Giving Update

THE MINISTRY OF SALEM HEIGHTS CHURCH The ministry of Salem Heights Church is funded entirely by the generous giving of Gods people. You will notice that we do not pass the offering plate; however, there are offering boxes in the back of the auditorium. We have done this so no one gives out of compulsion. We believe from the Word of God that the Spirit of God will lead people towards giving back to God of their first fruits. ...God loves a cheerful giver (2 Cor. 9:7) and we know He blesses those who take His Word seriously in every regard. Thank you for prayerfully supporting Salem Heights financially as we desire to reach the lost and disciple the Saints.

LUKE Part 23

Luke 5:27-32

Transformed for Impact

Presented by

Pastor Matt MacCollin

April 19, 2015

Introduction

How did you arrive here this bright and sunny morning? Not,

what car did you come in, or how is your disposition, but what

trail of interactions has brought you to the course of today, April

19, 2015?

Go back as far as you can. Go back to Adam and Eve. The

presenting of you today in this place has taken an uncountable

number of interactions. True? Myriads of positive interactions

are on your time line, as well as myriads of negative ones and

others in between. Most of those interactions you had no

control of or even know about, so heres the point: You exist

today not by your own doing, but you are part of something

bigger, something immense. Interactions have been falling into

place, to bring us you. You are part of something that God

began with two human beings... and you matter.

As we think about our lives, we could say with great hurt in our

hearts, But there is such great darkness! Yes there is, all down

the time line and even today, but a great Light is shining. Hes

been shining from the beginning. He is shining through His Word

and through His people.

In our text today, as Matthew is called, we will see that a great

Light impacted his darkness. God showed up. That same Light

has shined down through the centuries, the Light is Christ Jesus.

He set Matthew on a new course; and whether we believe it or

not God knows, wanting to do the same with our lives. You see

we are a part of something ancient, old as time, but something

current, something amazing and headed towards a bright

future. You are seated this morning in the middle of something

special, a beautiful design, but its possible that you cant see it.

Its because you are one brush stroke in the midst of a

wonderful painting, one domino falling in the midst of a wide

and varied design. You are several pages in the midst of the

universal, celestial award winning novel. The author of that

novel is God, and you matter within His grand story.

Today as we will head out into the wonderful sunshine, may

each one of us grasp the truth that, in our fleeting moments on

earth, Jesus wants to save us and have us impact others

trapped in darkness, forever impacting Gods wonderful time

line of design. Your moments matter more than you may have

ever considered. Lets consider Matthew. He will prove it to us.

Matthews Darkness

Levi/Matthew was a tax collector. That means he was hated for good reason.

Levi was like a mobster. The whole region would have been afraid of him.

The Saviors Directive

Directive = Authoritative Instruction

Jesus looked at Matthew with intention.

Jesus said, Follow Me.

Matthews Deference

Deference = Respectful Submission

Matthew complied with no questions or complaints. Leaving all, he walked into new life.

Matthews obedience set in motion scores of people being saved and the entire world changed.

The Converts Determination

Determination = A Fixed Purpose or Intention

Sinners came by invitation of the new Christian to meet his Savior.

All of those invited were impacted, including the skeptics.

Religions Dissension

Dissension = Stern Disagreement or Quarreling

The Pharisees and their cohorts challenged Christs associations.

The Messiahs Disclosure

Disclosure = A Revealed Truth

Jesus came to save sinners, not stroke religions ego.

The moment the religious accept their sinfulness, Jesus wants to heal them as well.

Heading Into the Day Light

Do you feel the call on your life to impact others?

Is there anyone you know God is calling you to reach out to?

Is there anything you know is keeping you from living out your few moments on earth for Gods glory?

What is Feed Salem? April is one of the lowest months for

emergency food supply in the Salem Keizer area. Through this

city-wide project, we want to reach out to local families and

to also minister to their spiritual needs. That means sharing the

Gospel with them!

beginning Thursday, April 23 from 8am to 6:30 pm. On

Saturday, April 25 at 1pm we will have a time of training and

prayer before going out to deliver food boxes to families in our

area.

begin praying for.
